acetone or MEK. Rub the fletch area with dampened paper towel until the shaft "squeeks".

Ajax powder, was used by the aircraft industry to clean before painting. Originally recommended by Easton.  Use a damp paper towel with Ajax, rinse and dry with dry towel. Keep your fingers off. Ajax is not a detergent so leaves no residue.

I agree with the Ajax trick. Comet cleanser works too.
